First off Great Programsecond do you have to install DriverPack to all windows before you use the program or just one?third can i have multi vista on here or just one????

Not quite sure what your second point asks. The program does not need DriverPack. The hardware and Windows you are going to install may need a driver. Simplest way is to to slipstream Drivers Pack to your source with Windows setup with many drivers at once.Is it any clearer?

As for Vista setup- from the first post in this topic:

...What it can be used for adding to your USB stick/disk:...Vista/Windows 7 setup to different primary partitions. Multiple Vista sources in the SAME partition are NOT supported. Place your second Vista setup in another partition. It can be placed on any primary partition...

Quick workaround- manually copy to the same partition the other Vista setup files, even in its own folder.Launch first Vista setup. At start of setup choose to repair system then select to go in command prompt, can't recall how these options were called.When you go to command prompt CD to your folder with the second Vista and launch its Setup.exe.Not quite sure if you can start 32bit setup from 64bit command prompt and vice versa.

You integrate Driver Pack in your source, BEFORE putting it on the USB stick using this program. So the answer comes up by itself- yes, you need to do that for whatever source you are willing to.It could be possible to share drivers pack folder later on, after integration, given that source is the same (XP for example), but it will be looking for that only if disk size is limiting you and/or you are slipstreaming a lot of driver packs, e.g. video, sound etc.From the top of my head one of the changes required would be to edit presetup.cmd in each ~LS\I386 folder and replace name of DP parent directory.

You need to create the partitions manually, then the program can help you putting the source in those partitions. Didn't you like the workaround?

How do I "null the first 100-200 sectors" on a USB stick?

Also in BIOS I have 5 options to set up USB:
Auto (emulated as Floppy for small size <530MB & as HDD for large)
Floppy
Forced FDD (to force a HDD formatted drive to boot as FDD, supposedly useful for ZIP drive)
Hard Disk
CDROM

I try to boot under FDD. I did try other options but computer hangs up for most of those except FDD & CD-Rom. Now I don't even get to grub>.

Anyway, what is the most appropriate BIOS option? Or which ones are definitely wrong?
Formatting USB as "Fixed drive" and setting HDD in BIOS didn't help.

Also 1 more question --

if I use RMPREPUSB, lets say, would using C:\WINXPCD under "Choose Folder; Copy files from here after preparing USB drive" do the full job or should I run WinSetupFromUSB_0-2-2 (without formatting) to get to the bootable USB?

Also, I checked "Boot as HDD" option in RMPREPUSB but got a notice that "This device is classed as USB_ZIP <Removable Disk>. Not like I mind but it matters for the BIOS settings probably... ?

Evidence attached.

And what is that 2-nd hidden partition? Why do I have it & am I supposed to have it with so many formattings... [this one is not Micro Center that I am torturing too].

I have a problem. I have installed XP to my flash drive and when I boot to it.....it goes straight to the second part of setup??!!
It doesn't go to the grub loader to select which os setup to run the first part of setup. I even tried just installing the boot files only and its still the same.
Any ideas?
